Default Sticky Handbrake mechanism - Rear caliper.

Solution: Hit with your biggest hammer until you feel better and return to MOT station. Initial reading 179 O/S, 11 N/S . Post hammer both sides equal.

Put the new caliper on yesterday and now I only have 2 clicks to engage the handbrake compared to the full extension I was using so the lesson for the day is if your handbrake comes up more than two or three clicks then something is broken somewhere....
